Aviation industry stakeholders have expressed their support for the ratification of Bilateral Air Services Agreements (BASAs) between Kenya and 18 other countries. The agreements aim to expand market access, improve air connectivity, and increase passenger and cargo flight frequencies. Representatives from various aviation organizations, including the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), Kenya Air Operators Association (KAAO), the State Department for Aviation and Aerospace Development, Kenya Airways, and Safarilink, confirmed their participation in the negotiations and urged Parliament to finalize the ratification process.
Stakeholders highlighted the potential of the agreements to open new markets and strengthen Kenya’s aviation sector, while also addressing concerns about repatriation of taxes and the carbon tax, which they believe could increase operational costs for airlines.
